Max69xl Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 "but some chose General Prayut Chan-o-cha as their preferred choice, citing his honesty, his several years of experience in national governance and his straightforwardness." That must be the biggest joke this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most heinous crime that he ever committed was to promise to improve the lives of poorer Thais (as politicians in many other parts of the world do.)

NanLaew Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 6 hours ago, webfact said: Most respondents to a recent poll say that they don’t see anyone qualified to be their first choice as Thailand’s next Prime Minister, but some chose General Prayut Chan-o-cha as their preferred choice, citing his honesty, his several years of experience in national governance and his straightforwardness. The same poll shows that the opposition Pheu Thai party is more popular than the ruling Palang Pracharat party, and the popularity of government coalition parties, Palang Pracharat, Democrat, Bhumjaithai, New Economics and Prachachart, is declining. The National Institute Development Administration (NIDA) poll gauged the opinions of 2,517 people, in different occupations and of various educational levels, on June 23rd and 24th. The poll shows 44.06% of the respondents don’t see anyone good enough to be the Prime Minister of Thailand, while 25.47% vouched for incumbent Prayut, claiming he is honest, straightforward, and able to restore and maintain peace and order. Pheu Thai party’s chief strategist, Khunying Sudarat Keyuraphan, is the second choice with 8.07% impressed with her track record and no-nonsense character. This poll well after the most popular candidate and his party are no longer an option. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tall_poppy_syndrome 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This poll must have been conducted in an army barracks. I was sat in a Thai bar the other night, packed out of course, when a young man asked if he could have a chat ? Yeah sure, the conversation rapidly turned into a political debate regarding the Good General and the rest of his mob and how the people of Thailand are desperate to get rid of this recent plague of parasites. This was a well educated man, but what i noticed most was the names i've heard from nearly every Thai i've had this same conversation with....... Mr Taksin, Mr Thanatorn, and someone who can't be named who's still shacked up in a Bavarian Brothel.... The young are better informed now and as far as i've seen they're ready for change........ Mind you i did advise a peaceful removal as this lot will be very quick on the trigger as they're getting used to being in power..... It's on its way, i just hope we don't have a bigger version of 1992.... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilli42 Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Depending on how the question was asked, the answer makes a lot of sense. There are many countries in the world where the leader is not overwhelming me supported by voters just the choice between bad and worse. If you are looking for effective leadership it’s difficult to find in Western style democracies. What can you expect when you hand over the keys to anyone with political aspirations.

jcsmith Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 What a deceptive lead in... "Most respondents to a recent poll say that they don’t see anyone qualified to be their first choice as Thailand’s next Prime Minister, but some chose General Prayut Chan-o-cha as their preferred choice, citing his honesty, his several years of experience in national governance and his straightforwardness." No mention of the fact that his numbers there are 1/4 of the country and is lower than his opponents. It's obvious who the author supports. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
